The Morning After

Says Davis as he walks sleepily into the dining room the day after my birthday:  "Mommy, is it still your birthday?"

Me:  "No, buddy, my birthday was yesterday.  It's not my birthday anymore."

Davis, voice cracking and on the verge of tears:  "But my want it to still be your birthday."

Me:  "Davis, it's ok.  We still have the cupcakes."

Davis:  "Oh."

(Sigh of relief)

Birthdays

We are well into birthday season around here.  Just this month we've had Papa's, Uncle Stephen's, Uncle Morgan's, and today we celebrated Nana's.  Mine's next, followed by Reece's in May and then Davis' in June.  Fun times!  Derek and Nana went to a nice grown-up lunch in Raleigh today, and while they were gone Davis and I made a cake.  He loves to cook anything, but whenever he gets to use "pinkles" he is extra happy happy.

Yesterday, Derek watched both boys so I could go get a pedicure and eat lunch with my friend, Christy.  It was so nice to have a few hours of "girl time" and have a relaxed, leisurely lunch!  We've continued to enjoy the beautiful weather and spring temperatures, and even though everything's covered in pollen we're having lots of fun in our back yard.

"Sunflowers" for Nana (D thinks any orange or yellow flower is a sunflower)

The masterpiece

Dang, this boy looks like his Grandaddy!

Happy birthday!

Something tells me this one will be diving into his birthday cake next month...
